Most sellers will not have a problem with this. Tracking will allow you to see which key words convert and which don’t.

Site targeting is another great way to get hold of the traffic ready and willing to buy. However I would only suggest you do this once you know which keywords do the selling and which ones don’t. Once you have keywords that sell type them into goggles search and see which sites appear at the top of goggles organic list. If the site has Google Adsense on you can then go to your Google Adsense account and target that particular site. If you have an ad on goggles search results and on the top website the sales should role in.

Google ad words and Google in general is all about relevance so my last piece of advice would be to always use your chosen keywords within your ads in the title and in the body of the ad.

Search Engine Marketing – How Search Chameleon Can Dramatically Improve Your Search Campaigns

One of the most effective methods used in Internet marketing incorporates search engines. The fact is the majority of purchases, online and offline, are preceded by online searches in the various search portals like Google and Yahoo. Companies that know this endeavor to employ the latest search engine optimization (SEO) techniques into their Web pages in order to gain a competitive edge in the ranking of their Web pages in the search results.

In the case of Google, page ranking is determined by a number of factors including the relevance of a page to the specific search terms used. Basically, Google’s algorithm monitors the amount of time a visitor spends on a Web page since the relevance of a page to the search terms used is a major factor in the importance of that page to a prospect. This is important because page ranking and sponsored ad per-click costs are factored based on the algorithm results.

In order to compete effectively Web developers frequently design a number of landing pages for the same product specific to certain popular keywords. SEO techniques such as using keywords in the page’s title and in the page text in a number of pages can be difficult to maintain and expensive to employ.

A software product named Search Chameleon was designed to automate this process by allowing a Web developer to incorporate scripting into a landing page causing the text in the title and/or the body of the page to adjust in real time based on the specific keywords used in the search engine and a sponsored advertisement.

The process works with a related sponsored ad which includes the keywords in the destination URL. This would complete a triangle of relevancy with the search term entered in the search engine, text in the sponsored ad and the text on the landing page. As stated previously, this can result in a very positive rating with Google’s algorithm.

The drawback is a Web developer would be limited to few keywords if the scripting is used in the body of the landing page because the flow of information would be negatively affected by using the wrong word in a sentence, for instance. It would probably work best if the script was used to change keywords only in the page’s title and paragraph titles.

So, although using Search Chameleon would reduce the cost and development time required for several landing pages, a Web developer would have to be very selective in the placement of the script in the body of the page.

Search Chameleon is a proprietary business application and only available in a suite of B2B Internet marketing tools named PromoBlackBox. This suite of tools includes other proprietary software and hosted applications intended for small to medium sized business. It was co-developed by a respected Internet marketing company recognized by both Google and Yahoo with their highest honors because of their marketing success.

The search engine marketing landscape is continually evolving as new technologies are introduced and as Web developers learn how to “beat the system”. As the major search engines update their search parameters, Web developers will have to adjust their on page SEO techniques to accommodate them. One thing that probably won’t change is the relevance of a landing page to the specific search terms used.

The Four Secrets of Successful PPC Campaigns

The attractive quality of SEM and in particular pay per click (=PPC) advertising is that the results are measurable. As a strategic marketer, I have never come across any sales or marketing tool which is so transparent and cost-effective. PPC campaigns allow you to see vital statistics on user behavior, text ads, keywords and much more. Best of all, however, is the fact that you can use PPC campaigns as “instant sales generators”: You can pause your campaign when sales are high or you can switch them on again when sales are low to get a new sales boost.

Secret 1: Have an online strategy in place before you start!

Prior to implementing your online strategy you should consider the following:

I. Define the purpose of your online marketing campaign

Some businesses use PPC purely as a “sales generator” tool, other businesses use it as a way to encourage new client leads and others simply for increased brand awareness.

II. Identify the medium and long term online strategy

It is important to have realistic medium and long term expectations. Bear in mind that online campaigns deliver improved results the longer you run them.

III. Set a realistic monthly budget

Always consider your budget relative to your product’s profit margin. PPC can have a massive effect on sales and lead generation, but

In our experience, we often find that very few businesses develop a strategy before they start their campaign. The alarmingly common approach of “let’s allocate some budget for 6 months and see what happens” is a recipe for disaster.

Particularly for the first weeks of your PPC campaign run time, it is imperative that you dedicate a significant amount of time to fine-tuning key words and text ads.

An alternative solution is to employ an agency and ask them for a trial PPC campaign in which the results are assessed after 4 weeks. If your agency cannot deliver results within the first 2-3 weeks, chances are that they are not allocating your budget to the right key words and text ads or did not consult you properly in the first place.

Secret 2: Prepare your website!

Statistics show that you have got exactly 6 seconds to convince a visitor to stay on your site. If the visitor does not instantly find what he or she is looking for, your budget will not translate into business or leads.

It is critical for your website to have the following characteristics:

Enticing images- If you offer a service, pictures of happy people will give the impression of satisfied end users. If you are offering a product, make sure that your images are clear and represent your product in a true manner.

Good web copy– Remember that less is more when it comes to web copy. Don’t clutter your site with unnecessary text. Good web copy should fit in one frame.

Call to action phrases- Tell your visitors what you want them to do. Examples of good call to action phrases are: “Call now!”, “Buy today!”, “Contact us!”.

No scroll bars- Wherever possible, fit everything into one screen or frame. The more a user has to scroll, the more chance you have in loosing the visitor.

Site design in HTML – Flash websites might look great, but are a killer for any SEM campaign. You may incorporate some flash images to enhance your site’s look and feel, however keep your site predominately HTML.

Remember: Unless your site is ready, your traffic will not convert into sales or leads.

Secret 3: Start small – Choose one Search Engine only

Especially if you are dipping your toe into the pay per click pool for the first time, it is more than OK to start off small. In my experience, too many companies are confronted by the variety of choice between different PPC search engines and are tricked into thinking they need to be on all these so-called “networks” immediately. New online advertisers are often considering big players such as Google Ad Words and Yahoo! Search Marketing (Yahoo!7 and ninemsn), but also the smaller fish such as Sensis, Ask, MIVA and Mirago. Too many different campaigns (each of which are run according to different rules, different budgets and different funding) are too much to juggle for most first time online advertisers.

It is important to stay focused when deciding on your first search marketing network, and refer back to your online strategy to properly match your purpose to the correct network. I would always recommend trialing a campaign on Google due to its amount of market share (55%) and quality traffic. If your campaign performs well on Google, chances are it will also perform on other networks.

Walk before you can run. Test your campaign on one network first to get a feel for it, and when you feel more confident then consider branching out.

Secret 4: Trial and Assess the Results

After choosing the correct search engine network to implement your PPC campaign, embark on a simple three week trial campaign. The great thing about PPC is that you can pause it whenever you like, so you are not locked into any long term commitment after your designated ‘trial period’.

Once you have seen the campaign results for the first three weeks, you (or your online agency) should be able to identify trends for your particular business. For instance, you should be able to see which of your key words were most sought after, which words attracted most enquiries or led to sales, which “click-days” and “click times” were extremely popular and which companies you compete with.

Example: one of our clients in the beauty industry knew after their three week trial period that Wednesdays and Thursdays between 12noon and 4pm were extremely popular for them in regards to clicks and enquiries for their services. As a result, they shifted their entire media budget on these 2 days and now receive twice as many enquiries as they had gotten in previous weeks – with the same investment!

Whilst trends are important to analyze for both your medium- and long-term online strategy, you must also closely analyze the direct impact that the campaign has on your business. Your sales team (or whoever answers calls in your business) needs to be briefed before the campaign starts and should monitor where new business leads are coming from. Analysis of your new business enquiries and where they found out about you is important to accurately gauge the impact of a prolonged PPC campaign.

Use your trial campaign as an indication of what is to come. In my experience, PPC campaigns improve immensely over time and a feature of their success depends on the amount of time that is invested in their development.

10 Critical Steps to Improve Your Quality Score and to Pay Less For Your Google AdWords Campaigns

Getting a good Google quality score is important to lower the minimum bid price for your keywords on your Google AdWords campaigns. The quality score ranges from 1 to 10, where 10 is best. I think it’s not absolutely necessary to get a quality score of 9 or 10 for all of your keywords, but you should aim to get a quality score of at least 7 or 8 for most of your keywords.

How does Google actually calculate the quality score for your keywords? Well there are many different factors that determine your quality score and only Google knows the exact rules.

Nevertheless, the following tips and guidelines should allow you a get a sufficiently high quality score – somewhere around 8 or even 9 – for most of your keywords:

* Put a privacy policy on your website

* Add some valuable content to your site – 5 to 10 short articles containing 300 – 500 words should be enough.

* Create some backlinks to your site: For example, submit your articles (or at least a few of them) to various article directories.

* Add a “Contact Me” page to your site.

* Add an “About” page to your site.

* Add a “Resources” page to your site with links to valuable and relevant sites. Consider sites with a high Google Page Rank as well as .edu and .org sites.

* Add a sitemap to your site.

* Make sure your site is clean, has a professional look and feel and doesn’t contain any “under construction”- or similar pages.

* Make sure your ads are relevant. A good practice is to use the keyword you are bidding on in the headline of your ad.

* Make sure your landing page is relevant. Don’t try to sell guitar lessons on your landing page when your ad is talking about an easy way to learn piano. You could even create a dedicated landing page for each of your adgroups – although that’s not always necessary.

Ok, all this sounds like quite a lot of work, but on the other hand it’s not really that much either. Look, the majority of these pages won’t contain much content, some of these pages could be generated automatically (for example the sitemap), the “Resources” page is just a list of a few links… Also, some of these pages can be easily reused (with a few minor modifications) for other websites and other AdWords campaigns.

And following the steps outlined above will not only assure you lower minimum bid prices for your keywords, but they will also drastically increase your sales conversion. Why and how? Let’s have a quick look at the entire process:

* Someone searches for a solution to a specific problem on Google

* This person finds your ad on the Google search results page and because you used the keyword he was searching for in the headline of your ad, he clicks on it.

* He is arrives at your landing page, which delivers what was promised in the ad and contains even more mouth-watering information.

* Your site is neat, clean and looks professional. There is a privacy policy, a contact form, a sitemap…

* Now you just made a big step towards gaining the trust of your site visitor and you drastically increased your chances that he will sign up for your newsletter, buy your product…

So as you can see, the Google quality score isn’t something that was introduced by Google to bother you or to make your life more difficult than it needs to be. It’s just a means to improve quality and you can even look at it as an indicator telling you if your campaign and website is sufficiently sophisticated to become profitable and to generate a positive ROI.

So, please do yourself a favor, invest a few hours of your time, follow the suggestions mentioned above and I promise you won’t regret it.

Temporary Marketing Staff can help out with Social Media Marketing Campaigns

Social Media is proving to become an essential tool in marketing to the youth market. The article below flags up the benefits of having expert advice in social media marketing techniques. Brand Recruitment offer temporary marketing staff who offer a variety of marketing skills. If you are keen to find out more or discover how a marketing temp can help you launch an all-important social media marketing campaign, please contact Brand Recruitment. 

When adidas rolled out the Urban Art Guide – an iPhone app that allows mobile users to put together their own tour of graffiti and other urban art in their area – earlier this year, they became one of the latest big brands to pick up on the possibilities of using mobile marketing to target that ever-elusive youth audience.
With smartphones fast becoming something of a must-have accessory among the young demographic, it’s no surprise that adidas chose an app to tap into this market. But mobiles in general are an especially useful marketing tool because almost all young people own them, and use them on a daily basis for a range of activities. These activities aren’t just limited to texting and calling either, so clever marketers might make use of say, the camera, Net browsing, or video facilities of the mobile to appeal to the youth.
“Obviously video suits the mobile experience nicely, with its easy consumption and possibility of social sharing,” says Luke Mitchell, md of Reach Students, a UK-based digital communications consultancy. “I would consider very carefully how you can get involved and be useful in the apps and services that young people are using on their phones.”
“Being in daily contact with large numbers of students on Facebook, we have seen a big rise in their use of phones to communicate through the site,” Mitchell continues. “Many of them are mainly updating and messaging via phone apps and using their computers less regularly, which clearly impacts the marketing environment.”
But while being in touch with youth reactions to changing technologies is obviously a wise idea for marketers, there’s something to be said for learning a bit more about that target audience first.
“Don’t expect all youth to be early adopters and ready to break products into the mainstream on your behalf,” says Mitchell. “When the iPhone first came out we found that many young people were cautious of the hype and in no rush to get one. Now though, they are embracing it. Tech early adopters pushed the iPhone, and only a small proportion of youth can be truly labelled that.
“Also be aware that young people are highly protective over their phones, much more so than they are of their computers,” he adds. “They are often more wary of installing apps and giving access beyond their private network.”

PPC Advertising

PPC ads are undeniably the best and easiest way of steering traffic to a website with the help of pay per click search engines. This exceptional marketing/promotional tool, in fact, is being widely used by various product/service providers to boost sales and achieve marketing targets.

The most practical (and yet economical) form of advertising, Pay-per-click advertising involves listing a website by selecting appropriate keywords (these can be words or phrases) that refer to the product or service one is marketing. Since, keywords are of utmost importance in PPC advertising, a definite keyword-strategizing (rather optimizing) is involved in the whole process. Only a thorough optimizing will ensure that the chosen keyword/phrase matches with the search words/terms used by the advertiser’s target audience when looking for this particular product/service. It is basically this aspect of PPC advertising that places it ahead of other advertising media better promoting the products/services, giving good publicity and assuring the advertisers better returns on investment.

PPC Requirements and Bidding Strategy

As an advertiser, you bid for each keyword (based on a keyword-optimizing strategy). The higher your bid amount, the better is the positioning of your Sponsored ad. And as the name implies, the advertiser pays-per-click, you pay the bid amount to the ad hosting network/search engine/website only when a user clicks on your ad-link to open your website.
